The NAVI03 is DVD/CD based, and is a variant of the Mk4.

But the E65 7-series uses the NAV01/02/03, with the nav computer mounted in the boot. That nav system can be updated through inserting the V30 nav OS CD. I know, I've done a few.

The CCC cars are updated over the diagnostic system.

And then, of course, the Japanese cars use a completely different system again...
